(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel and Arnon Regular - The IDF Sunday lifted its closure on the West Bank and Gaza and eased movement restrictions among Palestinian cities as part of the confidence-building measures under the road map, allowing some 25,000 Palestinians with permits issued by the security services to work or conduct business in Israel. However, the Shin Bet security service had 57 warnings of planned attacks. Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon said that the IDF's anti-terror tactics will remain unchanged until the Palestinians accept responsibility for security. The Shin Bet has given Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz a list of 100 Palestinian prisoners slated for release in conjunction with the upcoming summit meetings. The list includes Abu Sukar, who headed a Fatah terrorist cell that planted a booby-trapped refrigerator in Jerusalem's Zion Square in 1975, killing 14 and injuring 72.
